Beyond my expectations!
This is extremely better than I had thought. The packing was very good. The device is awesome. The picture quality is very acceptable. No- it’s not 4K. But for a small compact video (audio) device, I am impressed. I especially like the small screen. I need to know that what I am videoing is being videoed! This puts my mind at ease being able to see it and immediately play it back. The camera rotates up and down as well. This ranks high on my list of best purchases I’ve ever made on Amazon. I’m buying one for my car and one for my home/office too. In this crazy world we live in, I consider this a ‘must have’ item. Oh- charges very quickly. Cord was included. The only thing I wish was included, would be a soft carry bag to put it in. I found a thick sock works well.

Lots of features and easy to use
This video camera has a great setup. It's easy to figure out what button control what. The documentation is adequate but the YT video on Amazon for the product is great. The main reason I bought it was for the ability to wear it on my ballcap. It has the tab to slide it on the bill. It looks like a standard 1/4" screw hole for standard mounting on a stand. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is every one of these cameras I've bought usually only last a few months. My last one lasted a year but I paid double what I paid for this one. If this one last that long, and I'm able to re-evaluate and grade this one after 1 year, I'll give it 5 starts.

Has some issues but is still a good value
This camera is ok. It does not clip well to anything so securing to clothing is really not possible. Playback is good but powering on has a mind of its own. Buttons/controls are too sensitive causing video records to stop or start at random.

Could Not Keep Charged. Awaiting a replacement from the company.
I charged this camera several times but never got to use it. After charging it, I would set it down or put it in my shirt pocket believing it was turned off and sometimes I would find it turned on or I would just find it with the battery drained as if it had been on. I was contacted the company for help. Update 1: I changed initial my review from one star to 4 stars as I received a reply from the company and they apologized for the problem and they stated they will be sending me a replacement camera. In later correspondence with the company, I was told if you only press the on/off button momentarily, it can turn off the viewing screen but not the whole camera. You have to hold it for a bit. The viewing screen does close quickly but you do have to hold it until the screen changes images and then shuts off. I must say, the customer service is excellent. I still haven't tried out the camera as I forgot it on the charger but it is definitely holding the charge now.

Decent, budget, personal bodycam, audio recorder, webcam, etc. But returned
EDIT: Sadly, I’m returning this because the battery won’t hold a charge overnight. 1. Decent, budget, personal bodycam, audio recorder, webcam, etc. Picture quality is good, depending on lighting. 2. Lacks image stabilization, which would be a nice feature but probably not possible at this price. 3. It's too easy to accidentally press buttons to stop recording. 4. Has a small, color screen for viewing vids, pix and settings. "Screen saver" is actually a screen blanking feature which means that you don't go around with the screen constantly on while recording. 5. It requires about as much light as one needs to read in order to produce a usable video. Five LEDs provide lighting, which they call "night vision", out to about 12 feet. Forget about any covert use at night. It would be better if the lights and camera were infrared. 6. The lens rotates 180º. It would be better if it went a bit more to allow the lens to be slightly depressed as it tends to point upward when worn in the shirt pocket. 7. Seems lightly constructed. Would probably not survive a fall onto a hard floor but I'm not going to test it. I also won't vouch for it in the lightest rain. 8. Configuration is via a menu system. 9. Comes with a manual but you need a microscope to read it. 10. When connected via USB it gives you a choice to access files, act as a webcam, or charge only. 11. I had to remove and reinsert the micro-SD card, after which it worked. 12. When you rotate the lens 180º so that it faces the same direction as the screen, you have to press and hold the "up" button to flip the image right-side-up. However, the video is a mirror image. I suppose most video editing software can correct this. 13. There a "nannycam" or motion detection feature that starts recording when movement is detected in the image and which continues to record for about 20 seconds after the motion ends. This uses significant battery power, so the useful time in this mode is only about 7 hours before a recharge is required. Useful to see who comes into your hotel room while you're out but not for long-term monitoring of your property. 14. There's a slight zoom capability but it does not seem like a very useful feature. It might be better if the lens had a wider angle of view.

Junk
What a waste of time and money. Instructions written by someone who has no idea how this thing works. Could never get it to playback, see pictures, or listen to recording. Instructions don't list anything about it. I had high hopes for this thing. Should have listened to the bad reviews. Probably a made in china junk, but nothing anywhere. Seems china is ashamed to print "made in china" on it. I can see why. It's just junk.

Long Battery Life
I like its small size and it he fact it also has a screen as well. The video is very high quality output.
